Are the pre-national anthem montages available anywhere?

I'm talking about the video montage they play on the big screen as the pregame warm up clock is about to expire. The one they had last year with all the significant franchise game moments set to that Philip Phillips song was pretty awesome. Especially the end when they flash through face cards of every player to have dawned a Pacer jersey. Are these montages accessible anywhere on the internet or does PS&E keep them tightly guarded?

Also, I was a little late getting to my seat Tuesday and got there right as they were doing starting lineups. Did they change the montage from last year?

Dunno about availability, but they changed the montage to one involving bubble gum card for the significant players of the past. I was a little unhappy not to see anyone on there more recent than Reggie, but I guess they were going for players out of the league rather than just significant players. I would hope someday to see JO on that type of montage, though I can't really think of anyone else prior to current team I'd look for specifically.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...

It's going to be really interesting to see how the Pacer's embrace/deal with Jermaine Oneal's legacy with the team in the future.

"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.

That montage is pretty cool but it seems to have a more..like... somber tone to it than the one from last year. I wish they would archive these sorts of things on pacers.com or something. I think it would be cool to go back and see some of the ones from the past in a time capsule sort of way. Would instantly take you back to that moment in time.
